I've traced the crash to this call in configDialog.py, around line 830 
or so:


def SetFontSample(self,event=None):
   fontName=self.fontName.get()
   if self.fontBold.get():
   fontWeight=tkFont.BOLD
   else:
   fontWeight=tkFont.NORMAL
   ###This is where it crashes!! How to fix?
   self.editFont.config(size=self.fontSize.get(),
weight=fontWeight,family=fontName)

Specifically, the crash occurs in self.editFont.config, which configures 
the font-sample display in the preferences dialog. I haven't been able 
to develop a workaround yet--calls to "self.update," etc. haven't 
worked--and will revisit it in the next day or so. Any other suggestions 
are appreciated.

I've been stepping through the IDLE source code and it appears IDLE is 
crashing during the LoadConfigs() call of the config dialog. Still have 
more investigating to do, but I'm hopeful I can come up with a 
workaround that will keep things from crashing.


The stack trace that I posted earlier, in my own testing, indicates that 
the issue may be during the infernal event loop integration between Tk 
and Cocoa--there's been a lot of traffic on the Mac-Tcl list about that. 
Fortunately, while the low-level event loop issues are more or less 
unavoidable at this time, they can often be worked around at the script 
level with calls to update, after idle, etc. It may take some trial and

That odd.  IDLE also uses '::tk::mac::ShowPreferences' for the configuration 
dialog. The only difference with your script is that the same command is also 
bound to '<>'.  The code for this all is in 
idlelib.macosxSupport.overrideRootMenu in the stdlib.

P.S. To fire the prefs dialog, type Command-, or command-comma. That is 
the default keybinding even though I did not explicitly enable it in the

I've done some additional testing of this in Tk, and cannot reproduce 
the crash. Also, this sample Tkinter script runs without any crash:


###
from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

def showPreferences():
top = Toplevel()
top.title("About this application...")

root.createcommand('::tk::mac::ShowPreferences', showPreferences)
root.mainloop()


I think the culprit is somewhere in IDLE's internals, but I can't be 
sure. If the bug is in Tkinter's internals, this script should crash, 
but it doesn't. Please try it to confirm.


At this point I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I've done some extensive building and bisecting of Fossil checkins to 
the tk-cocoa-8-5-backport branch and have isolated the regression to a 
particular checkin.  I've opened Tk issue 3575664 with the details and 
provided a debug crash dump.

BTW, I've also opened Tk issue 3575681 to document that the earlier 
clipboard copy crash regression can still be reproduced with IDLE.

I've done some further testing of this, and have run into something very 
odd.


Just to be sure, I did a fresh checkout of Tk's core-8-5-branch and 
rebuilt it, and then rebuilt my installation of Python to link to it. 
(My recent Python apps have been linking to the Tk in 
/System/Library/Frameworks because of the Mac App Store, but as I'm 
moving away from the App Store that's no longer necessary.)


After rebuilding and re-linking everything, I can indeed confirm the 
crash in IDLE. Running Command-, causes the app to crash instead of 
bringing up the preferences menu. However, I can't reproduce the crash 
in Tk itself. Running Wish, I define the standard 
tk::mac::ShowPrefrences procedure to print "foo" to standard output, and 
it works as expected. This is why I said I didn't see the error and 
wondered what version of Tk you were testing.


What happens if something crashes in Tkinter but not in Tk directly? Is 
this considered a bug in Python/Tkinter? Because IDLE's preferences 
method is calling into tk::mac::ShowPreferences, then it shouldn't crash 
unless Wish is also crashing. I don't know what to say if something 
crashes in Python/Tkinter but not in Tk.

I moved my own build of Python out of the way, and installed 
ActivePython 2.7.2, which links against my custom build of Tcl/Tk in 
/Library/Frameworks, based on a week-old checkout of the tip of the 
core-8-5-branch. Launching IDLE and typing Command-, brings up the 
preferences dialog without any crash.


Again, I'm not sure what version of Tk you are testing against? If 
you're testing against the most recent build of ActiveTcl, you won't see 
this fix, because ActiveState hasn't incorporated it yet. The fix was 
committed in the past month or so, I believe, as part of the input 
method patch submitted by Adrian Robert.

As far as I can tell, the problem is not fixed in the source tree.  The 
problem is trivial to reproduce with Python and IDLE.  Try it with your 
own build of Tk 8.5 installed in /Library/Frameworks and with any of the 
current python.org 64-bit/32-bit installers

Is this statement based on a fresh checkout of the core-8-5-branch from 
http://core.tcl.tk/tk? Because my build of 8.5 dates from about a week 
ago, and the preferences menu issue is fixed.


What I said before holds: the fix is now in the source tree, but 
ActiveState has not yet released an updated build of ActiveTcl to 
include the fix. The OP can certainly download and build the Tcl/Tk 
sources himself to get the fix; I agree that an alternative workaround 
would be to revert to an older build of ActiveTcl, assuming it's still 
available.

It has not been fixed yet.  The workaround at the moment is to revert to 
an older version of ActiveState, 8.5.11.1, as described here:

Yes, probably--there was a crash in Tk 8.5.12 that has since been fixed, 
but a binary release from ActiveState has not yet been made. When they 
release a new version the crash should go away.
